So... today's post is about Maja being 17 months and here are a few new things about her:
- she is now sleeping in her big girl bed!! It actually wasn't a planned thing... we drove to Millwaukee to buy a crib for Isla and while at the baby store, we saw this adorable little toddler bed and well... we ended up bringing it home with us. The crib is still in Maja's room "just in case" plus Isla's room is nowhere near ready but for 2 weeks now, Maja has been using her toddler bed.
So far so good, surprisingly from day one she did great and the only issue was a couple of days this week she'd wake up at 6 am and wouldn't want to lay back down in her toddler bed so I put her in the crib and she went back to sleep until 8am both times. Since then, I'm able to just put her back down in her own bed.
She likes to sleep with her baby and her bunnies. One of the bunnies sits in the corner and holds her extra pacis so she knows where tp find them if she wakes up at night.
And what's more amazing about it too is that she officially puts herself to sleep now. Both in the middle of the night (she has been doing that for about a month) and when going down. She gets her kiss, lights out, music on, paci in and Mommy leaves. She doesn't try to get out, she doesn't cry and peacefully drifts off to sleep.
- she learns new words incredibly fast... it's amazing how much she understands and what she can communicate between signing and speaking. She calls her doll Zizzy (her actual name is Lizzy) and she can say "sister" although that sounds like "tister"
- She loves to run really fast and jump and building with blocks is still her favorite activity
- She is showing interest in using the spoon and fork (the right way... she has been using them as drumsticks for months) although for the most part we still feed her
Happy 17 months baby!
